DVD Review: "Murray...Egan...Remick ~ These Thousand Hills (1959)"
Summary: 4 Stars
20th Century Fox Home Entertainment present "THESE THOUSAND HILLS" (1959) (96 mins Color), under director Richard Fleischer, produced by David Weisbart, novel by A.B. Guthrie Jr., screenplay by Alfred Hayes, musical direction by Leigh Harline, songs by Harry Warren and Ned Washington . . . . .cast includes Don Murray (Lat Evans), Richard Egan (Jehu), Lee Remick (Callie), Patricia Owens( Joyce), Stuart Whitman (Tom Ping), Albert Dekker (Conrad), Harold J. Stone( Ram Butler), Royal Dano (Carmichael), Jean Willes (Jen), Douglas Fowley (Whitney), Fuzzy Knight (Sally, the Cook). . . . . .our story takes place deep within the Oregon Territories during the late 1800s' as our leading man Don Murray is down on his luck and borrows money from Lee Remick who is his dance hall girlfriend...his quest for political gains and wealth are clouded when he meets the banker's daughter Patricia Owens...meanwhile his best friend Stuart Whitman has rustled some steers and is lynched without so much as a word from Murray who is a member of the posse...the land baron Richard Egan is real nasty in this oater, he's out to hurt Remick and Murray must make a decision whether or not to help her, thus the moral question arises with only one answer...this has all the makings of what we all love, great western storytelling with blends of film noir...gotta love it!
Specal footnote, actor Don Murray (born Donald Patrick Murray on July 31, 1929, in Hollywood, California) is an American actor...before breaking into television and movies, he attended East Rockaway High School in Long Island, New York..."Bus Stop" (1956) provided Murray with a strong role as a naive, yet forceful, cowboy romancing a singer (Marilyn Monroe), for his efforts, the actor earned an Oscar nod as Best Supporting Actor...his two subsequent features, "The Bachelor Party" and "A Hatful of Rain" (1957) both provided meaty roles, but later efforts failed to capitalize on his early promise...Murray moved into producing and screenwriting with "The Hoodlum Priest" (1961), a true story about a clergyman in St. Louis who worked with criminals, in which he also starred...his 1970 directing debut, "The Cross and the Switchblade", was an earnest but uneven feature. A second feature, "Damien" (1977), a biopic of the priest who worked with lepers in Hawaii, has never been released theatrically...in the 80s saw Murray in mostly paternal roles (e.g., "Endless Love" 1981; "Peggy Sue Got Married" 1986)....Murray had a long and varied career in TV and films, but is best known for his role as Sid Fairgate in "Knots Landing" from 1979 to 1981...Murray was the first husband of the late actress Hope Lange. They had two children

Description of These Thousand Hills
?Aided by an excellent cast? (Variety), this rousing big-scale Western is ?packed with action, bronco busting, brawling, gunning and hard riding? (Cue) and will ?satisfy even the most hard-bitten Western fan!? (Motion Picture Herald)!Deep within the lawless Oregon Territories of the late 1800?s, a dirt-poor young cowpoke with dreams of wealth and respect arrives in town, hoping to make a name for himself and finally rise above his penniless origins. But when he falls for the sexy, streetwise hostess of the local dance hall (Oscar® nominee* Lee Remick, Days Of Wine And Roses) and runs afoul of the wealthy and dangerous town bully, he realizes that his quest for upward mobility has unleashed a fateful chain of events that could destroy everything he holds dear!
